Identity Attack Surface Management (IASM) is an emerging cybersecurity discipline focused on identifying, monitoring, and mitigating risks associated with an organization's digital identities. This includes employee accounts, service accounts, third-party access, and even machine identities. IASM involves continuously discovering and assessing all identity-related assets, permissions, and vulnerabilities across an organization's IT ecosystem. By providing visibility into the entire identity landscape, IASM helps organizations reduce their attack surface, prevent identity-based attacks, and maintain a strong security posture. This approach is particularly crucial in today's distributed and cloud-based environments where traditional network perimeters are no longer sufficient for protection.
